About those judges…..

NZ Herald: ‘He subjected his newborn baby to months of torture, biting through her earlobe, twisting her toe until it snapped, fracturing her ribs and femur and gouging the soles of her feet with his fingernail. But he will not spend any time in prison…’

GG – remorse? You’ve got to be joking. These scumbags have never ever taken responsibility for anything because society has always given them a free ride for every single wrong decision or bit of bad behavior. The judges are just part of that society that will forever be making excuses for them because of their colour.

Nevin Dawson should know better too. A few years ago he literally escaped Vanuatu before the locals had a chance to kill him.
He graduated from Boy Scouts to Jaycees to Law Society to the Bench= Minimal Life Skill and Minimal Conscience.

I remember when Home Detention was first introduced in 2002, how all the liberal fuckwits said:
– It was not a soft option.
– If the conditions of H.D. were broken it was straight off to prison.
– It would NEVER be used for violent criminals.
– It would NEVER be used for sexual criminals.
– It would NEVER be used for serious drug criminals.
– It would NEVER be used for organised crime and gang criminals.
– It would significantly reduce re-offending/recidivism by criminals.
– It would allow criminals to remain positively engaged with their families/whanau/community/iwi, etc.

So how well did that work out:
– It IS a very soft option, in fact criminals regular ask for H.D. in preference to not just prison but other community based sentences like Intensive Supervision or Community Work.
– 71% of all criminals break at least one condition of their H.D. but any sanctions are non-existent to piss weak. Of the 13,000 known violations of H.D. only 37 have been given prison sentences.
– Repeat serious multiple violent criminals were given H.D. within one year of introduction and today it the absolute MAJORITY (52%) of all violent criminals receive H.D.
– Sexual criminals are today regularly given H.D.
– Class-A drug makers and suppliers started being given H.D. within two years of introduction.
– Gang members were given H.D. within one of introduction and today are regularly given H.D. to their own fortified gang bases!
– As for recidivism and reducing criminal behaviour or re-offending I’ll let people judge for themselves.

So what positives did come out of the introduction of H.D.:
– The private contract monitoring companies are making an absolute mint.
– The Government saved $3-4 billion dollars.

But surely our politicians and Parliament would never abandon their sworn duty to protect peaceable and law-abiding citizens from violent evil thugs and criminals just to save few dollars while cynically enhancing their liberal do-gooder reputations? Surely not.

Thanks Labour (with support votes from the Greens and NATIONAL f.f.s.) for introducing Home Detention, it’s truly a (fiscal) success!

Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.
